Happy Chinese New Year!
Once again, it's CNY. I bet everyone will be feeling happy and into the festive mood. School's gonna start on Wednesday.
Yippee! I can't wait to go to school again. Hahah =) There are also somethings that I just can't let go, that I'm
worrying for. My math test. After discussing/talking to my classmates about the test, I found out that I made quite a few
careless mistakes. Which is super
silly of me. I hope the result will not be that bad though.
Hope the new year gets better. I don't want to sit and stone. Hahah =) Wow. Haven't blogged for 8 days. That's long. School's fine. But my
stress level has been increasing for the past few days.
GRRR. It seems to me that there's a sudden increase of things happening which is piling up, too quickly. And my mind's in a
whirl. NYAA-community service[CS], synapse-games stuffs, application for G6 practical[help] and many many more. Gee, I really need to sit down and sort things out man.
NYAA-CS is really a
headache for me man. All four of us agreed that C will be the one who will call up the person-in-charge for the Toa Payoh Community Library. But after she called up the person, the result that she gave me was
disastrous. It clashed with my cca!
GRRR. I guess partly was my fault. I think I forgot to inform her that I had practice on Thurs. So I've been in a
dilemma since I received the news.
Should I go for CS or my CCA? Thurs for CS is fixed unless I do it alone on another day. I don't want to do it alone, it will be kinda lonely and not that much fun w/o them. After serious consideration, I told them about my plan. I'll just go on another day for CS. Fortuanately, I'll not be alone for the other day of CS. Chen ah mah will accompany me! Whoohoo!
Reason: Her teacher-in-charge didn't allow her to replace her MRL duty on other days.
Hmmph, and because of this CS stuff, I kinda neglect my duty for Synapse
temporarily. But I'll still be able to help out for the games trial. I'm sorry Sherrie, Rachel and Esther for not being able to help you guys on Monday to print out the clues and all. But I'll help you guys to cut the clues into slips! Hope you guys will understand =)
As usual, studies have been
great! Absorbing all the stuffs being taught. Math test coming up this Thurs. Should be able to win the first race for math. Just need to continue with my practice and I'll be ready =)
CNY's coming! Class decoration for CNY hasn't been done up yet. Hope the committee will start discussing about it soon. For the class decoration, it doesn't appeals to be that good. I'm not being a wet blanket but being truthful. It's a fact. The deco's kinda plain. Plus, the noticeboard is kinda dull. Black and white. I was looking towards a more colourful approach. But overall, it's good and I know they have done their best =)
A busy week ahead. School has been great. Everything's fine. And I've been coping well with my stuides, which is great. Coz I predicted that I'll have difficulties catching up with my classmates. Mrs Teo made an announcement regarding the Sports Development Club. I'm interested to take up canoeing. But it clashes with the Public Speaking Course so it's a pity. I'm really interested. GRRR.
130106; Friday 13. I will remember this date for as long as I live on Earth. Serious man. Coz it's a special day for all of us, prefects. Probation period is finally over and all of us got in! Congratulations, everyone! I'm looking forward to work togther as a TEAM. To serve the school and organise many other events =)
Today, PE was kinda tough for me, this kind of people, who doesn't really exercise often. Haha =) Ran round the perimeter of the 3 basketball courts four times for warm-ups. And we did some stretches after that. Did lotsa skipping. My legs turned jelly-liked after PE. There almost wasn't an ounce of strength. Especially going down the staris, I couldn't control. Fortunately, I didn't fall. And we also did the push-up position and held it for some time until Mrs Teo blowed the whistle. And we had to leave up one hand once, I was like: "
WHAT?!". Haha =) My left hand was kinda
shivering for that one, it isn't as strong compared to my right hand. My most strainous PE lesson I have encountered. Near the end of the lesson, Mrs Teo commented that all that we have done was just a little bit of exercise. I wonder what she mean by alot of exercise man. I think I'll just drop onto the ground.
Looking forward to more excitement in school =)Not to forget, I've grown by 2cm! I'm so grateful for that precious 2cm. I finally hit the targeted height that I want to be. Above 170cm. I'm now 171cm =) Hallelujah, Praise Ye the Lord. Got to go back to class and start proper lessons today. Missed out a whole week of lessons due to Sec 1 Orientation. Seems to me that I've missed out quite alot. But I'm trying my best to catch up now. Everything is fine. Had an early recess this morning, 0830. The earliest recess I ever had =)
Lessons were great. I enjoyed it though some were kinda dry but I understood whatever the teacher taught. I got into B2 for both EL and MA. There's this banding system. I find it alittle messy. Gotta go arnd whenever it's EL/MA lessons. Haha =)Didn't do much for EL, spent the time marking the exercises and chatted with Grace. Up next was lunch. I didn't really get to eat, again. Fortunately, Christina offered me her packet of tidbits. So thoughtful of her. Thank you, Christina for the whole pack of tidbits. It was better than going for lessons with an empty stomach. Math was the one that was kinda dry. Scales and Maps. I abhor this during Geog. I dislike this kinda stuff. After the lesson, I find that it isn't that bad. Haha =) No jokes at all during lesson. So different from last year's math lesson. Hopefully it will be better the next time round =)
Had an extra lesson on Physics with Ms Kang. Asked her to give us, prefects, extra lesson coz we missed out during the previous week. She's a lovely teacher. Patient & caring. Heavy downpour. Felt cold. Had lunch @ Heartland Mall, KFC, together with ZX, G and WK. Had a lift from ZX's mom. Caught up with each other =)
Sec 1 Orientation 2006; O.@.K03 January 2006
Start of orientation. I'm the class prefect for 1A1, together with Vanessa, Amanda & Amelia. Had fun with the class during PL Tour. Got to know some of their names. They are wonderful people, enthusiastic and smart. Today was also the first time that I lead Singspiration. It was a brand new experience for me. After reflecting on it, I felt that I could have done better.
04 January 2006
Second day of orientation. And the attitude and behaviour of the Sec 1's has improved, compared to the first day where some of them were kinda rude to us. And each class was supposed to paint their very own class flag. Similar to Mega Camp '05. Only red and black paints. The flags were beautiful. Had everyone's thumbprint on 1 of the flags, including mine =) What a beautful flag that was! Something dreadful happened, my whole hand got stained by the paint and I had difficulties trying to get rid of it. It was Nippon paint and my whole hand stinks while I was using turpentine to remove the paint.
Had fun playing the POW game. The sec 1's were really violent. One of my class's poles broke into 2 while other people were trying to snatch our flag. I really really wonder how they broke it. Haha =) But they managed to save 1 of their flags and got 2 more. Well done! And they had a superb solution to protect their flags man. It was so superb until I thought it was real. Haha =)
And for the Fashion Show, A1 got the Disney theme/character, Finding Nemo. Had the special orientation after lunch. But I missed it coz of the External Ops mtg. Wrote New Year greetings to schools. First time doing that. It was kinda fun.
05 January 2006I got really wet during the games. Almost all the station games were wet games or 'gross' games. Got sabo-ed by lotsa people. Got really wet. Rachel poured a packet of water down my head. Wasn't alert. Haha =) It was really fun. I gotta know more people through the games.
Then had guzheng practice. Went for cca with an empty stomach. Coz cca was gonna start soon. Learnt a CNY song today. It was beautiful. I love it!
06 January 2006Last day of orientation. Awww, kinda sad to part with the class. Hosted the Fashion Show with Lauren. I was really scared but fortunately, everything went smoothly. The sec 1's were really innovative, made good use of the materials tht were given to them. Good job! And I'm extremely happy for 1A1. Though they didn't win the Fashion Show, overall, they are the
best class, and they get the priviledge to have their class name carved on the
Challenge Shield! I'm so proud of you girls =) Did the PB cheers. And all of us sang the Theme Song. The PL spirit is really strong.
From this orientation, I really gained alot of new experience. I've learnt many things. And there is still a big room for improvement. Much more to improve on. Met quite a number of my friends who were from PL Swim Team in Primary School. Glad to see them doing fine. Most importantly, gotta thank all the I/C and aI/C for their wonderful and organised planning that made the orientation run so smoothly. Thank you! Happy New Year! Camped overnight @ East Coast together with my family to celebrate New Year. This is the first time that we gather as a whole family to do so. It was beautiful. Saw the fireworks. Splendid! Stayed till 10 mins going to 3am. That was the latest I have stayed up so far. And my eyes were like gonna bulge out? That was what I heard from my aunt. Slept for 4 hrs. Got a stupid wake up call from an
'Ah Gua' hen. The calling was super loud, and it sounded half like a hen and half like a rooster. And it was kinda dead too. Thus the name. Had Big Breakfast for breakfast. Then, spend the whole morning and afternoon playing a memory game and heart attack. Thank God that the rain stopped during the afternoon. All of us packed up and headed for home(:
(The
'Ah Gua' hen is actually my aunt.)
